Go for the sun....

With plenty of shots in the bag Brian and I decided to have a more casual look around the St Hillaire locale. Concentrating on one train parked up.
56018 56018 basks in the morning sunlight on the tail of a loaded ballast working at Les Petites-Loges
56018 56018 basks in the morning sunlight on the tail of a loaded ballast working at Les Petites-Loges
58032 58032 on a loaded ballast working at Les Petites-Loges
97781206 Ballast wagon
58034 58034 on the head of a loaded ballast working at Les Petites-Loges
58034 Os et la lune

56081 56081 and 056 creep up the line as the train ballast the track bed behind
56081 The foreign locos pass the ballast train at slow speed as they return to St Hilaire
56081 18 minutes after the first train, on the left headed by 56081, appeared over the hill it is a few hundred feet away from us and the second train, lead by 56118, is positively racing up the hill having covered almost the same distance in 3 minutes

00000 The two locos haul the CWR train into Ocquerre
00000 One of the track laying machines on the back of a train rolls into Ocquerre
00000 Wagons in the train
00000 The control cabin on the back of the train
